Adjusting the pH in the root zone is an integral part of plant care that maintains good plant health and high yields. It is critically important as it indicates the balance of nutrients in the soil or other growing media.
When you grow plants in soil, you can control the pH level of the soil or use soil that already has a suitable pH level for the plants you wish to grow. In addition, you should also control the pH of the water you use to water the plants. You can check the pH by measuring the pH of the water used for watering and the water that drains out, and then observe if there are any unusual changes in pH levels.
When you regulate the pH to an appropriate level, in the range between 5.5 to 6.5 for Hydroponic systems, coconut coir, and soil, you can do this by using pH Down and pH Up from various mixtures. However, the recommended method is to use pH adjusting substances that have no negative impact on the plants.
"However, you shouldn't just aim to control the pH to stay within the appropriate range, but also to maintain a stable pH for plant stability. Consider a situation where you are preparing fertilizer mixtures. After mixing, you would need to use a significant amount of pH Down, and the pH would quickly return to its original state. Therefore, you might want to consider using KingWhale, a product that employs technology to maintain the balance of pH in water, and keeps the pH stable for a longer period without the need for frequent adjustments.
Ultimately, if you can maintain a balance of pH levels and the appropriate nutrient proportions, you can easily grow any type of plant you want.
